IiUKXINO OF THE STEAMER CASWELL
The steamer Castcell, commanded by Capt.
R. P. Paddison, and running between this
city and Point Caswell, says the Wilming
ton Star of the 27th Aug., was discovered to
be on fire while laying at her wha'rf at the
latter place on Saturday night last, bettveen
the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock. The fire
originated in the Captain's office and before
tho flames could be arrested the entire upper
works of the boat, including the cabin, hur
ricane deck, wheel house, and,in fact.every
thing from the first deck upwas destroyed.
The Wilmington Star says a young white
woman by the name of Hattie Lee, hailing,
we learn, from Magnolia, but at present re
siding with a family by tho name of Staf

Hon. George Bancoft.Minister of the United
States to Prussia, has written the following
letter to His Excellency Gov. Caldwell:
"American Legation,
Berlin, Aug., 7, 1871.
His Excellency Tod R. Caldwell,
Sir: I have had the honor of receiving
your communication of the 8th of May, in
which you express your hope,that the high
lands of North Carolina may receive a large
emigration. Be assured,it will always give
me tho since rest pleasure to bear my testi
mony to tho beauty and natural fertility
and salubrity of that lovely region of coun
try and to the hospitality of its inhabitants.
Western North Carolina is tho Switzerland

as free and happy a population as that of

It's the best'he can;. The Squedunk
organ published in the centre of a troubled
territory, undertakes to re-echo the squeal
of the Sentinel, that Hester made the Ku
Klux uniforms before-leaving Raleigh,
and took them with him to Moore county.
Such nonsense, Mr. Squedunk.may answer
a purpose-reven a bad purpose for the
time ; but, we have it from such authority
as leaves no - earthly doubt, that tho uni
forms were mado in Moore by, and were
the property of, the very men captured by
U. S. Detective Hester; It is a sore pain to
some, to see these murderers trapped ; still,
the work is going on, and a dreadful flut
tering, and leaving the' State will take
place, when the investigation commences.
It would Ikj well, for all such doubting
characters as the Squedunk editor" alluded
to, to be present when the evidence of mem
bers of the order is being detailed before the
Court. You'll hear something about cow
hiding, hanging and arson and all about
who made the uniforms and how the Ku
Klux manage to disguise their voice
when they meet for their midnight raids.
Bo sure you come, and bring your knit
ting, as the investigation will last more
than a day. . '

for constitutional government, equal taxa
tion, economy, amnesty." In the same let

the struggle to permit the party to consult

i The charge made by a kind of insinua
tion familiar with the haters of the colored
race, that tho recent fire in Goldsboro' was
the result of the late Republican gathering
there, was well calculated to make every
colored mah a more devoted adherent to
his r party. ' Without evidence to warrant
the charge, a stigma is attempted to be fas
tened upon the colored man, and render
him a still greater object of hatred in the
eyes , of those who courted Ids patronage
only a few days ago. .
We ask the question in all candor, is
there a prper in North Carolina bold enough
to have made such a charge if the majority
who attended that meeting had been white
men ? Not one. And simply because, they
know that they would have been held per
sonally responsible. On the other hand,
tho charge is made against the colored man
for the reason that it is well known, his ed
ucation, and his former condition in life
operates to make hipi bear tho insults he
otherwise would resent.
The Charlotte Observer of the 30th ult.,
savs, on Monday night between 9 and

o'clock the alarm of fire wasiriven.. and

Mr. John W. Gunnels. The fire was' first
discovered by a blaze flashing up right in
the centre of the building between the two
counters, where a great deal , of loose waste
paper was usually kept. How it originated
no one knows, unless a match had been ac
cidently thrown in among the paper. Mr,
Gunnells had but a short time before left the

Lonostreet's Brigade. The attempt
pt the Sentinel to bring into contempt the
name of Longstreet, will prove as abortive
as its attempt to ridicule the working men
of the city of Raleigh on account of their
ignorance. Longstreet was a - gallant soi
dir in n bad cause : and now. with tl
candor of an honest man, accepts the re
suits of the war in good faith. If others,
who we're prominent in the Southern A rrny
would act as has Gen.' Longstreet, we would
have had peace and prosperity, long since.
We should not have been annoyed by Ku
Klux, and other Klans of the same kin
dred. The innocent men who now fill the
graves of martyrs, would have been living
and enjoying the blessings of a freegovernT
ment and a free country. j '
Tho following letter from a .Boston Edi
tor to the Hillsboro' Recorder, breaths the
right spirit: j
"I should be pleaded , to see you, as I
should be glad to call on you at Hiilsbor
ough. The nearest I bave ever been to that
place is Kinston where in the time of the
unpleasantness some one of the erring
brethren put a bullet through my lelt hand
and hit threo fingers on my right, while
another put one through my left leg. ; But
so far as I am concerned byrgones are by
gones and as long as in the present and fu
ture men are loyal to the dear old flag I let
the dead bury the dead."
That's the Talk. What a difference
there seems to be between the Raleigh Sen
tinel and the Goldsboro' Messenger, as to
the dignity of labor. The one tells the me
chanics of Raleigh that they ought to (or
will have to,) call in certain gentlemen to
tell them who are the working nen the
other, pays a well-timed and appropriate
tribute to the working men. How do you
account for this great difference between
two editors of the same political faith? Why
thus: the Messenger editor has seen hard
service as a working man, and never by
"luck" or accident OAvned any tiling all,
and every thing he possesses, wo:are told,is
the result of energy and hard labor. The
following we take from tho Messenger, and
will be received kindly, by the working
men who live in North Carolina :
Mechanics. They are the palace builders
of the world ; not a stick is hewn,notastone
is shaped in all the lordly dwellings of the
rich, that does not owe its beauty land fit
ness to the skill of the mechanic. The tow
ering spires that raise their giddy heads
among the clouds depend upon the me
chanic's art for their strength and symme
try. Not an edifice for devotion, of busi
ness, or comfort, but bears the impress of
their hands. I low exalted is their vocation,
how sublime their calling. '
. The Queen Bee on the Squedunk.
Anterior to tho war of 1812, in and about
the reign of King Georgo III, there j was no
such animal known to the naturalist as the
Squedunk. North Carolina has th honor
of presenting a native Squedunk, fipund in
the waters of Robeson. They are Remark
able only for the horrible noise which they
make. We recommend their introduction
to tho Klan. The Egypt for our J oseph to
visit to buy corn for our forces, will be
down on Flat River, this year. Hno re-
joiceth oyer this discovery, as the way
through the icoods is well guaraect Dy tne
true sons of the Invisible Empire. Cane
Creek also maketh gladsome noises. The
crooked handle stick now carried by J udge
Brooks, is said to be one of the staffs carried
by tho Shepards while watching their flocks
by night and must be made out of good
timber. Our Klan are the Skepardrs of the
present day. Sour krout poetry don't set
well on my stomach, and if my little wings
don't give out, I intend to fan some Tieavy
prose into the face of that dutch poet. Lar
kins and WiLson and Beard and Mitchell
should not have interfered in the Salisbury
fight. The BoU Worm are committing se
rious depredations on the cotton of the
South. The Democratic Organ to be pub
lished in the city of Raleigh gives me great
concern. I
The Fayetteville Eagle and U. S.
Detective Hester. We w ere a little sur
prised at tho language used by the Eagle
in reference to Cap;. J. G. Hester, an ac
credited agent of the- U. S. Government.
That paper, after some direct personal abuse
of Mr. Hester, goes on to say : " Hester and
other suspicious characters are prowling
around in the country as seeretrdetectives,
really secret agents of the Radical officials
to keep up political hate and strife for profit
to that party and its leaders. We hope our
citizens will shoot down on sight aily stran
gers caught in mischief while sneaking
stealthily about our homes. A legitimate
and well-meaning government employee
should be respected and assisted j but an
assassin and incendiary, and a base tool for
low-lived treachery and oppression, should
not be allowed to carry out his nefarious
purposes." 1 .
In the absence of that information neces
sary to just conclusions, the language of
our cotemporary of the Eagle is ill-timed,
ill-advised, and dangerous. Our personal
prejudices are often foremost when particu
lar matters do not go on as we would wish,
and we not unfrequeutly are led into the
use of language which, perhaps, it were bet
ter we had never uttered j
We know whereof we speak ; and uuless
witnesses from the ranks of the Kit Klux
perjure themselves, such a talc will be re
vealed as to cause even the proud and fiery
eyo of the Eagle himself to grow dim with
tho tear of regret. "1
All this personal abuse of Capt Hester,
and this intimation that he be shot, amounts
to nothing, as it w ill not deter either that
gentleman or the government he represents
from doing their whole duty in suppressing
and bringing to punishment the wicked
Klan who have inaugurated a reign of ter
ror in certain localities.
Snppose some ..misguided member or
members of the Ku Klux should shoot
down Capt. Hester and his associate officers
while in tho discharge of: their legitimate
duties? You ask, "then what ?" We re
ply, the Government is strong enough and
willing enough to protect its officers, and
bring to justice any person who shall won
tonly shoot them down in the discharge
of their duties. We write this in a good
spirit, and not threatening. We want peace ;
we want all murderers and traitors punish
ed ; we want every man, woman and child
to feel secure in their own homes ; the
general Government is determined, at
whatever cost, that such a state of security
shall be guaranteed to the people. ; (

in unity. It is like the precious ointment
upon the head that ran down upon the
beard, even Aaron's beard, that went down
to the skirts of his garment." If we haven't
quoted the scripture correctly, it is because
our Bible is loaned out to arepentant Ku
Klux, and we write! from memory. j
; .! : : . f ;
Ku Klux in South Carolina Mar
tial Laav. The Washington Correspon
dent of the New York Herald assures that
paper that the President will issue his proc
lamation despersing the Ku Klux iu South
Carolina, and immediately thereafter, the
counties in which the Klan are operating,
will be declared under martial law, and a
sufficient force of U. S. Soldiers will be sent
to said localities, to enforce tho order. The
JleraliCs letter says : 1 J
"It now appears that the outrages contin
ue to as great an extent as formerly ; that
tho witnesses before the sub-cominitteej are
an especial object of Ku Klux hostility," as
they feared they would be.and it is the case
that several of them have been abused and
others are refugees in Spartanburg and tq wns
where there are United States garrisons.
Two or three weeks past the Ku Klux have
ridden extensively throughout the district
and a largo number of negroes have , been
whipped at Greenville. For some weeks
or more past the trial of eight supposed Ku
Klux has been progressing ; one of them is
said to be colored. The jury have failed to
convict all but one.! The icolored prisoner
has yet to be tried. ! The ! first jury stood
eight for acquittal and. four for conviction.
Singularly enough the first eight were all
democrats of an extreme stripe. It is very
evident from this experience that the con
dition of public sentiment there is so, bad
that juries will not or are j afraid to convict.
In thesetases the evidence was ample to
convict most of the accused. j
; In his interview with the President to
day, Senator Scott laid th facts above given
and many, others before him, urging that
the utmost rigors of the law be put inforce
to protect the unfortunate Unionists of
Western South Carolina. He gave the de
tails from his correspondence of several of
worst cases. One of the witnesses (a white
matt,) named Quinn, who is a Republican,
and was one of a, grand jury charged j with
the investigation of; Kukluxism, has i been
taken out of his house and most brutally
whipped, i Another important witness, col
ored, barely escaped with his life and is
now a refugee at Spartanburg. The appre
hension prevailing is something which de
cent people livihg in the North must utter
ly fail to realize. Senator Scott laid before
the President letters received from Colonel
Lewis Merrill, United States Army, com
manding post at Spartanburg, an officer
whose prudence and sagacity the Senator
savs lie has the utmost confidence. i
In these letters Colonel Merrill gives de
tails of the occurrences herein referred to.
The receipt of these letters has Anally in
duced the Senator to lay the matter before
the President, as he did to-day, and to ad
vise and urge that the powers given by the
kuklux law be exercised to their fullest ex
tent in at least the counties of York and
Spartanburg, South Carolina." j !
The country will sustain the President in
any action he may take under tho authori
ty, vested in him, j for the restoration of
peace. Forbearance on his part, as i Chief
Executive of the nation, has been exer
cised, as we most respectfully submit, to
an extent unwarranted by the circumstan
ces; Nevertheless, a vigorous enforcement
of the Ku Klux Bill, even at this late day,
"will be a grateful relief to a people long and
unmercifully persecuted. f i - ;
